Oh come on.

Pigs are smart as fuck and we eat them. The value of dogs is totally cultural.

Well, I actually don't eat pigs or any other animal.  But even if I did, given MY cultural connection to dogs, I couldn't imagine eating one.

I actually once had someone tell me it was evil that I ate dog.

lol, my mom used to threaten to eat my childhood dog if she didn't behave (she's Korean).

Omg pixel, lol.

Whale. Didn't know what it was before we ate it. It wasn't an endangered one. It was in Norway. The one place had a try the strange things from the fish market special.

Haggis if done right is pretty good.
I've lost count of the strange sausage stuff DH has made me try.

[fryjack2]

Goat ear and goat tongue and intestines. My dad made me because it would have been rude not to eat it. We were a guest in someone's home overseas.

[Moe]

I'm just going to put raw oatmeal here.

Because, well, it's my schtick.

Besides most of what has already been mentioned, guinea pig.

Were you eating Peruvian cuisine? 

I was!

[Captain Serious]

I don't know what's weirdest, because I'll try pretty much anything once.  I should keep a list, because this question comes up from time to time, and I always have to try to remember.

Guinea pig
Alpaca
Beef heart
Kangaroo
Steak tartare
Pasta in squid ink
Pig hooves
Horse
Ostrich
Alligator
Yak meat and butter
Bison
Moose
Tounge

In elementary school, one of my Spanish teachers was Peruvian.

She would bring guinea pig in for us to try.

I am still kicking myself for not trying when I had the chance. 

Sorry for the super delayed response. I have never had rabbit, but people who have had both have told me that they taste very similar if you want guinea pig light .

[messykitchen]

Alligator, Snake, Rabbit....really nothing THAT exciting. I am far from an adventurous eater. Just bring me a steak, thanks.

[spwspw]

Has anybody here tried balut? That's one thing I can guarantee I will never EVER try.

[luckyval]

Ox tongue - and it was surprisingly good.

[Waffles]

The only weird things mentioned in this thread are the bear, mountain lion and squirrel.

Oh and bugs!

Most of the rest, from squid to haggis, is just food!

[justemily]

Fried chicken feet and tripe.
